Hepatitis C Support Group

If you or a family member have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C we are here to offer support and help. Join us and share your concerns, questions and fears.

We have a wonderful speaker, Shari , who will tell her inspirational story that led her from being a Hepatitis C patient to Founder of Status C Unknown; a non-profit dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of Hepatitis C in NYS. Ms. is also president-elect of the National Hepatitis C Advocacy Council; member of the NYS HCV Advisory Council and co-chair of the NYS Hepatitis C Community Workgroup. Shari is an amazing woman who wears many other Hep C hats as well.
